The Giants will still have to contend with one of the NFL’s best passers.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell confirmed Monday that Matthew Stafford will start this weekend against Big Blue despite dislocating a finger and tearing ligaments in his throwing hand during a 20-17 home victory over the Bears on Sunday.

“He did have an issue with his finger, there’s no question, but he’s going to be able to play in the next game,” Caldwell said at his day-after news conference. “He’s going to practice and those things.”

Caldwell, though, turned surly when pressed on the extent of Stafford’s injuries.

“I’m not going to talk to you about the nature of it, what happened, all the rumors and false reports,” Caldwell said. “That’s all I’m going to say about it, so if you ask me a question about it, I’m going to do one of two things: I’m either going to flat-out ignore you, or I’m going to ask for another question.”

Stafford is having an MVP-worthy season, completing 67 percent of his passes for 3,447 yards, 22 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in Detroit’s 9-4 start. He also has directed an incredible eight fourth-quarter comebacks and eight game-winning drives, the most in the NFL this season.

Stafford injured his hand in the first quarter against Chicago and wore a glove the rest of the way. He is expected to do the same Sunday against the Giants, though the anticipated cold temperatures at MetLife Stadium could hamper his throwing motion further.
